I have the darker color Seadek and don't feel that it gets hot at all. Easy to walk on. Unlike the Infinity woven vinyl, now that's VERY hot.
SeaDek Color not desirable.

Get online and buy a bottle of Boat Juice. This stuff is truly incredible on SeaDek. I use this for routine seasonal cleaning and a pressure washer for the heavy pre-storage and post-launch washes. Ours looks brand new on year 3.

Is there a product like these that don’t get hot? I’m surprised that Infinity woven vinyl gets hotter than seadeck.
I’m looking into plasteak now.
If all these get hot I’ll just recarpet.

We have the dark brown version and we like it because we thought it stayed cool. It's thru the entire boat. Compared to the cheaper woven seagrass, there is no comparison....very comfortable to walk on, whereas the other requires a towel.
As far as cleaning, we use the oem version and it cleans up in a few minutes.

Now you have had your new decking for a little while, any other thoughts? Still like the color and cleaning?
I’m in FL as well and worried about a darker color being too hot. Thoughts?
Thanks.

Beautiful! I have AMD on my swim platform and love it. My only complaint is that it seems very suceptible to denting or damage if something's dropped on it like the power cord head or tool etc... Have you had the same experience?

I have plas deck and love it. It does get hot as hell in July and aug... we just keep a bucket handy and cool it down with lake water.
It cleans up well with water and a brush. For deep stains on plasdeck you can use a 3m pad and it gets it out.

I have the ebay special and powerwash it as well. I even use my 3200 psi gas PW but with a wide spray attachment. It comes out like new everytime. It’s 2 years old

Well...you eBayers need to give us a little more info. I am very interested in the cheap stuff for ‘89 220 cuddy. I have cheap carpet cut in now. Would love an inexpensive upgrade that looks great.
What specific brand/vendor, if that is okay to ask?

Do it right or don't do it. Can't stand the look of unfinished edges.
You can definitely tell who does the cheap.

I certainly don’t go cheap on the safety and mechanical side. Since I use my ‘89 220cc boat for fishing and diving, I can’t justify dropping a fortune on the Sea Deck stuff. I have also read Sea Deck does not hold up well to drops and scrapes such as dive tanks and fish fins. The cheap carpet is comfortable to stand on and keeps us from slipping on a wet deck. If the cheaper ebay deck looks great and holds up, I would try it. I certainly would put the better stuff in my 280DA.
I wouldn’t use any foam for a boat used for diving or fishing. It does scratch easily. That being said, search eva decking on eBay and you’ll see all kinds of options.
$200 including the platform. Lots of planning though. It’s wet in these pictures so it looks like a different shade in some areas

That’s good info. This forum is great.
The cheap Home Depot carpet in my 220 is doing fine. Doesn’t scratch. Looks okay from a distance. Does not get hot. Feels good under foot. Pull it out to wash mud or fish blood. Cost me $50 and an afternoon. I guess I will just keep what I got. Save that money for the 280DA job. Thanks.
